Hello family and friends! Wow has this been an awesome week or what!!?? Giving all we've got, and then still going forward to help build the Kingdom of God on the Earth. Keepin' on keepin on, through the tears, sweat, and hard times.

This week I had the wonderful opportunity to see someone whom I have come to love, whom I've prayed over everyday, who I have worked with since day one of this transfer, and who I admire for their desire to follow the example of Jesus Christ into the waters of baptism. It was an awe-inspiring occasion, our investigator that was baptized thought it was the best thing in his whole life! So that was an even bigger plus! I am so grateful for the wonderful opportunity that I had to be able to meet, teach, laugh, and get to know him!

This week we had exchanges!!! Again!! And we had a last minute change, and I was able to go on exchanges with Sis W! And she is amazing! She has so much love for this work and for all her investigators! She truly let's the light of Christ shine through her, and she is a beacon to others, members, missionaries, investigators, and people on the street. It was a joy and a privilege to serve with her!

And today! As a district, we decided to go on a hike! UP A HUGE MOUNTAIN! It was tiring, at times it didn't seem worth it. But it was tons of fun! And it was a building experience. And just like in life there are ups and downs, but it will always be worth our trials and struggles in the end. Even if they are way longer than what you think they are or that you thought would be. But there are always something that we can learn from them, and to better ourselves to become more like our Savior, Jesus Christ.

Hope everyone has an amazing week! And keep on going, even when the trail is rough. :)
